EMPI Flywheel Shim for VW Air-Cooled Engines

The EMPI flywheel shim is a precision spacer for Volkswagen air-cooled engine builds and rebuilds. Flywheel shims are also called crankshaft end play shims. They sit between the crankshaft and the flywheel. Installers use them to set correct crankshaft end play and flywheel positioning during assembly.

Key Features:

• Made for VW air-cooled engine applications
• Helps you set proper crankshaft end play during engine assembly
• Flat, uniform shim construction for consistent, repeatable results
• Available in multiple thickness options, so builders can fine-tune the setup
• Backed by EMPI, a long-time name in VW aftermarket parts

Correct flywheel shimming helps protect the crankshaft thrust surfaces and supports smooth, reliable engine operation. It is an inexpensive but important part of any air-cooled VW engine rebuild or performance build.
